Production on the first season of The Bold Concert Series came to an end with the filming of both the Constantines and The Waking Eyes at The Phoenix Concert Theatre. After eight shows and multiple venues, there could not have be two better bands to end season one. A mixture of raw performances and intimate interviews, the series also included The Stills, Two Hours Traffic, Justin Rutledge, The Trews, Land of Talk, Jason Collett.
With an ambitious production schedule, FB was in production and post of multiple episodes at all times. All aspects of the production were handled in house, with a variety of camera operators and editors participating in the project. Audio for all episodes, except The Trews concerts, was recorded and mixed by Ian McGettigan.
The goal of the series was to capture performances of some of my favorite Canadian bands in a raw and unique way, giving the viewer the feeling of actually being at the concert. It was also our hope to be able to showcase a selection of bands that may not always be given the spotlight they deserve. Independent music in Canada is as strong as ever and FB is proud to support it in anyway we can.
